[Bug 768791] Re: isoinfo: Unable to find Joliet SVD (USB creator won't select ISO for creating boot USB)

[Jianfeng Li]

Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

usb-creator-gtk searches files by extensions and checks them differently
according to extension. If it is iso file, based on the code listed
here, it has to be in Joliet format:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/usbcreator/backends/udisks/backend.py
+147

cmd = ['isoinfo', '-J', '-i', filename, '-x', search]

Does it have to be this way? Debian's live DVD, for example, debian-
live-10.0.0-amd64-gnome.iso, is a perfect iso 9660 file but does not
have Joliet extension, isoinfo reads it fine, dd writes fine and boots
fine. Why usb-creator-gtk does not want to handle it?

Next time if you know it is an proper bootable DVD and usb-creator-gtk
fails, just try dd.

Or, try to rename to an img file just write to usb.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  When trying to create a bootable USB stick, I put in the USB and start
  usb-creator-gtk, as usual.

  I use the button to browse my way to my ISO file. I select the ISO,
  click "Open" in the prompt.

  The prompt closes, but the ISO is NOT added to the list. The end
  result is that it's *completely impossible* to make a bootable USB
  stick from an ISO file, since you are unable to add ISOs to the list.

  This used to work, so I suppose it must have broken in a recent
  upgrade.
